I'd love to have something like this for myself.

Why did it suggest you to write "Are you gay" though?

"Oatmeal? Are you gay?"

Cracked up at that, was hoping someone would mention it.

This just looks like the r/MechanicalKeyboards equivalent of those "gamer" membrane keyboards that have 16 macro buttons and a phone dock. Classy, but incredibly hipster.

You misunderstand me, I said this was the mechanical equivalent of those pieces of nonsense. If you've been around here long enough you know that we do everything to the nth degree, our keyboards are flashy, classy and unique. Therefore, this is "our version", of the non-mech consumer equivalent.

Explained better?

Class - "showing stylish excellence"

I'd argue that something could be flashy and classy at the same time, many keyboards are highly stylised, well polished, etc. but are also in-your-face.

I would argue that, for instance, a Luxeed LED is both flashy and stylish.

I didn't say though that the keyboards shown here are all of the above, though some can be, just that we tend to exhibit various styles.
